With the school year underway, many students have been hit by the realization that college courses are really boring. Fortunately, learning doesn't have to be a chore. Just like Driver's Ed and your Bar Mitzvah, any lecture can be made a lot more exciting by turning it into a drinking game. The rules are as follows (to be played with beer unless otherwise specified):

[picture:56175|size=small]Rule Number 3: Someone appears to be taking very thorough notes on their computer while actually looking at MySpace, IM'ing, or playing Bejeweled  .5 shot. If they are looking at porn  2 shots.

Rule Number 4: Professor asks a question; is asked to repeat the question  .5 shot per repetition.

Rule Number 5: Someone raises hand, rephrases what the professor JUST said in the form of a question, then seems smugly self-satisfied when the professor confirms it  1 shot. If it's you  2 shots; punch yourself in the testicles.

Rule Number 6: You make the conscious decision to stop taking notes, figuring you'll borrow them from some smart looking (read: Asian) kid later  All subsequent shots are to be bourbon; 1 shot.

Rule Number 7: Someone's phone rings and they frantically try to shut it off  .5 shot for every time they say they are sorry while not actually turning it off.

Rule Number 8: Professor assigns reading and class melodramatically groans even though it was already on the syllabus  1 shot, unless player shouts, "Is that all you got, pussy??"
